Transliteration
sa tu śāpavaśaṃ prāptaḥ krodhaparyākulekṣaṇaḥ | nirjagāma purād rājā sahadāraḥ paraṃtapaḥ ||

But the king, having fallen under the power of a curse, his eyes clouded and agitated with anger, went out from the city together with his wife. The verse underscores how a curse and unchecked wrath can drive a ruler away from ordered civic life into a state of moral and emotional disturbance.
